Video restaurant mobile site launched exclusively for iPhone users

WEBWIRE (http://www.webwire.com/) – Wednesday, October 10, 2007

According to restaurateur Pete Thomas, the 3 most important aspects of choosing a restaurant are being able to see it, call for reservations, and know how to get there. iPhone users can now do just that at Restaurantslive.mobi.

Specifically designed for iPhone users, they can view videos of top restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area, be connected with one touch dialing to make reservations, and get door to door directions.

This new iPhone website has both a Wi-Fi version and content encoded as well for Edge networks. "The high demand for video informational content delivery coupled with consumer demand from mobile users" says Pete Thomas, "was a key reason for developing this specific mobile distribution network" Located in San Mateo, California, the parent company OmnivisionLive has been producing streaming windows media since 2003 for desktop users.

Nice site but with a ready score of 2 they have abandoned other mobile users beyond the iPhone or iPod Touch. Site doesn't work on my lowly Nokia. Now in SF they can probably get away with that to some degree (that's serious Apple territory like Coke in Atlanta). But if/when compliance comes then they will have to make some accommodations for lower end users.
